Chris Dodd Retiring?

Dear June -

No, I'm not retiring from the Senate - I'm working hard as ever, to restore the Constitution, stop that terrible FISA bill and put a Democrat in the White House.

But after our incredible journey campaigning for the Presidency, there is something that does need retiring: our debt.

My internet team tells me the campaign inbox was flooded with messages of thanks and inquiries about how you can continue to help now that the presidential campaign is over.


Dodd is right. We must put a Democrat in the White House. He took a brave stand in the Senate on the FISA bill, which must be stopped. The fight is not over. Rock on in the Senate, Chris.

  1. I wrote to my Dem. Senator Bingaman to support Sen. Dodd in opposing immunity for telcoms in the FISA legislation and standing up for our Constitution. If the Dem caucus is bashing Dodd over this they must be recalled to the people's will and the good of the nation. (Where is that 2x4 I can whack them upside the head with?)

    I didn't bother with my GOP Senator Domenici, but maybe I should just so he hears, though he is hopeless. Thank Godde he's retiring.

  2. Paul, you should always take the opportunity to annoy your Republican representatives. I do. I annoyed our newly installed Republican governor when he was in the US House at every opportunity, and he sent me an invitation to his inaugural. I can't think why. I always wrote complaining about his vote or asking him to vote for something that I knew he wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. It's part of their job to endure the little annoyances.

  3. I got this too and it is an important message. We must stay focused. I just posted on blogging vitriol between Dems and wow, some gloves came off!

  5. In CT, we have one Senator to be proud of, and his name is NOT Lieberman.

    I'll probably kick in a nickel to help Dodd; he's never needed it for Senate campaigns, and has fought some good fights.
